1. A method for providing telecommunication services comprising:
- accepting at a first element a signal indicative of a call to a subscriber at an address on a fixed network; and
extending the call to a second terminal registered on a mobile telephone network via a packet-based data network, including receiving a signal indicative of the call at a second element coupled to the mobile telephone network and to the packet-based data network, and routing the call to the terminal based on routing information available to the second element.

Abstract
A telecommunication approach provides telephone service to subscribers on terminals registered on a mobile network that are consistent with the services provided to those subscribers at terminals on a fixed communication network. For instance, the subscriber on the terminals on the mobile network may have access to mid-call features and private dialing plans that are supported using elements on the fixed network, and calls placed to the subscribers at addresses (e.g., wireline numbers or SIP addresses) on the fixed network may be delivered to their terminals on the mobile network.
